MLB '10: The Show First Look (ESPN)

Hopefully the Twins new Uni's made it in. We all know how the MLB style guide can be.

I hear that.

Funny how game developers have to follow the style guide, or face fines, but the teams themselves don't (by altering slightly). And game makers cant follow the real life uni, even if it is altered from the "style guide".

Yet if you're uniform isn't proper on the field, you get fines as well.

Too much red tape and politics.

I remember reading somewhere a few years ago ( I believe it was when the Texas Rangers Changed Uni's to the alternate sleevelss Unis) That the teams that are changing uniforms have to let teh MLB know well in advance weather it is a slight change or completely changing uni's I believe they have to let them know a year or a year and a half in advance if I am not mistaken. I could be wrong but iremember reading something like that a few years back.

Yeah, they have to let them know in advanced like you said. But still funny how some don't match the "style guide", yet game makers have to follow it. But MLB teams don't.

Tiger Stadium would reign supreme if it were included, or if it were downloadable. We could really use it up here in Detroit, a lot of great moments in baseball history have happened there. Gibson homerun vs Padres in 84. Reggie Jackson's all star performance, Cecil Fielder and Harmon Killebrew hitting it out of the park over the left field stands. Not to mention a Virgil Trucks no hitter in 52 or 56? Louis Salazar playing all 9 positions during one game. Rupert Jones putting one in the lights in 83 or 84. Finally it's the home of Ernie Harwell!

So Don't Tell Me it's Not Classic!

WHAT HE SAID!

I doubt it is included, as it looks like they have already revealed all of the Classic Stadiums. As for downloadable, I would no doubt pay for it. As for next year, wishful thinking I guess...

He's got that **** right...hundreds and hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of hours I've spent and to a lesser degree, still am spending on all 30 team rosters....

So, this looks like it would solve the "why injuries cannot be on and ya cannot have roster control at the same time"

And speaking of Franchise, there will be the ability to finally play Franchise mode with up to 30 players. "We have a lot of fans who want to control every team, every lineup, every injury … they actually want to go in and manually injure a player just so their franchise at home can have the exact rosters of real life," says senior designer Kolbe Launchbaugh. "The time they spend on these rosters and inside all of these various modes really blows my mind, and it's something we all take great pride in as we're working on the game."

Re: Possibly no 'A' teams

Just my opinion...being the comprehensive mass roster editor I am and always have been....they (SCEA) can keep ALL the 'A' teams out of the game.....

It's already an inordinate amount of work just doing all 30 teams' AA, AAA and MLB rosters....

"...However, the only thing that bummed me out was that it looks like there won't be Single A teams this year (hinted in RTTS 4.0)."

@ stlcardsfan44

THAT is not true...the problem and the issue that you're having boils down to you (or anyone else going through that) having to readjust ALL stamina sliders and then attributes for pitchers' that are specific to their energy.

I wish they would change the 6 1/3 starting pitching logic. That has always been the thing that drove me crazy the most about this game. The only way your pitcher stays in the game past 6.1 is if the game is tied or he has a shutout. If its say 3-1 and the pitcher has only thrown 70 pitches, he gets taking out every friggin time at 6.1. Fix that please. Thats not realistic.

Re: MLB '10: The Show First Look (ESPN)

As someone who only plays season mode and never online, it looks as if some of this year's biggest innovations will not affect me, but I wouldn't for a moment consider not getting '10 as soon as I can lay my sweaty paws on it. There's bound to be lots of subtle improvements all round, making the game even more immersive, and I couldn't possibly pass on those.

I just really, really, really do hope they have it where we can actually "manually injure players". It sounds like it is in there, but it isnt worded like that.

It is almost as if he is just saying how hardcore we are, but doesn't actually confirm they did add that. And I really hope they did, and the MLB doesn't get upset about it.

Re: MLB '10: The Show First Look (ESPN)

I understand the reasoning behind it but I'm not quite sure that is something SCEA is able to do. Injuring players manually seems a bit morbid.

Hopefully we see a fact sheet sometime in the next few days. I'm dying to know if they have a control scheme to pitch similar to 2k. Although it's not a necessity it would be neat to have a more difficult way to pitch in the game.

A few fireworks anybody?

Can anyone confirm whether or not the Phillies have fireworks? I don't remember seeing any in the playoffs last year.

They do after someone hits a home run and the liberty bell rings.
